The Challenge
Practical Action Consulting Latin America has hosted several single-language webinars. Due to PAC LA’s global presence, they soon discovered that they need to shift to multilingual webinars to ensure all of the participants’ engagement in the discussed topics. On their first attempt, with no experience on simultaneous interpretation, both languages (English and Spanish) were overlapping on the same audio feed resulting in a very confusing experience for their audience. PAC LA realized they need a complete solution which would allow them to use separated language channels for the same webinar.
The Results
BoostEvents’ multilingual platform has helped PAC LA deliver valuable content in different languages at the same time and foster interaction in audiences from a diversity of countries. BoostEvents’ user-friendly interface has proven to be the perfect match for hosting already more than 20 multilingual webinars supporting PAC LA’s aim of sharing solid knowledge on development issues to influence public policy, influence the design of programs and development projects, and inspire new research and knowledge production. The opportunity to participate, listen, and engage in multiple languages really paid off: on average, a 40% increase in engagement was achieved by offering attendance in multiple languages.
“BoostEvents allowed Practical Action Consulting Latin America to serve a wider audience by creating a space for interaction between English and Spanish speakers from countries around the globe.”
